The Beatitudes can be understood in at least four ways; (1) They are a code of ethics for the disciples and a standard of conduct for all believers. (2) They contrast kingdom values(what is eternal) with worldly values(what is temporary). (3) They contrast the superficial"faith"of the Pharisees with the real faith that Christ demands. (4) They show the Old Testament expectations will be fulfilled in the new Kingdom.These Beatitudes are not multiple choice-pick what you like and leave the rest. They must be taken as a whole. They describe what we should be like as Christ followers.
